Cornelis Networks is seeking an Engineering Tools Administrator to serve as the day-to-day administrator for developer tools and lab systems used by our software engineering organization.

This is a role for someone who enjoys keeping developer-facing systems reliable, secure, and easy to use.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, responsive, and comfortable balancing multiple concurrent requests from engineers across the organization. They perform routine administration within established policies, elevate architecture decisions and high-risk changes to the appropriate owners, and communicate clearly with program management, engineering management, and the Dev Ops team.
